Original hand-drawn pen and ink/watercolor story map of California’s Central Coast state parks stretching from Gorda, California in the north until Santa Maria in the south. The map highlights major cities such as: Santa Maria, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, and Paso Robles. 

As two distinctly unique and stunning sides of the same coin, this map showcases the remarkable wildlife and scenery of the highlight landmarks of the landscape near the coast as well as the shoreline of California’s central coast.

In addition to highlighting the unique shoreline and coastal access to the Pacific Ocean, also featured on the map are the equally beautiful water locations including Lake Nacimiento, Lake San Antonio and Oso Flaco Lake. 

While the coastline is absolutely packed with unparalleled, stunning beach, bluff and bay views, the diversity of wildlife found on land near the shores as well as marine life along the shore only adds to the magic of the central coast. Plants and wildlife of the region highlighted on the map include: blue whales, humpback whales, gray whales, great white shark, bottlenose dolphin, pacific white-sided dolphin, elephant seals, harbor seals, California sea lions, orca, sea otters, zebras, California condors, black bears, California quails, gray foxes, great blue herons, red-tailed hawks, brown pelican, mountain lions, bobcast, northern Pacific rattlesnakes and more.
